O eu-lírico clama pela morte em “Curral de Peixes” de Lêdo Ivo

Abstract

This research analyzes the construction of the lyrical self in the book Curral de Peixe, by Lêdo Ivo, whose objective is to analyze the lyrical self claimed by the presence of death. In this way, it is discussed how the tradition of modern poetry deals with the theme of death and how it presents itself in the composition of poetic narratives, allowing an emphasis to be established in the space of negativity (SILVA, 2015), in the symbolic and in the unfolding of objects and things. In order to achieve the objective of this study, bibliographic research and a theoretical qualitative analysis are used, based mainly on studies between poetry and society carried out by Bosi (1985; 1989) and on theoretical studies on modern poetry carried out. by Baudelaire (2006), Junqueira (2004), Kubler-Ross (1996), Lobo (1987), Muniz (2006), Nóbrega (2011), Octávio Paz (1984) and Silva (2015). As a result of the research, the analysis in question showed that the poetic narratives represent, in the literary aspect, a world represented from a tone of the aesthetics of death. With regard to death and its timeless aspect, descriptive elements were found in the poems, sonnets and texts that stimulate paths through premises of negativity, transforming the lyrical self, characters and space into ideas with an elegiac tone. Thus, the negativity of poetic meaning is also distinguished from negation as an internal operation of judgment (KRISTEVA, 2005).
